Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).
Place the pork spare ribs in a large pot and cover with water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer for 20 minutes to remove impurities. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, honey, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, chilli flakes, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix well to make the marinade.
Place the pre-cooked spare ribs into a large baking tray lined with foil. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Add 250 ml of water to the baking tray to prevent the marinade from scorching during cooking.
Cover the baking tray tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the oven. Bake for 1 hour, basting the ribs with the marinade every 20 minutes.
After 1 hour, remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 200°C (400°F). Bake for an additional 20-30 minutes until the ribs are sticky and caramelized, turning halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Transfer the cooked ribs to a serving platter. Garnish with sliced spring onions and sesame seeds for a fresh and nutty finish.
Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed rice or a crisp salad.
